Abstract
Theatre, as a simulacrum of the cultural and
historical process itself, seeking to depict the
full range of human actions within their physical
context, has always provided society with the
most tangible records of its attempts to understand
its own operations. It is the repository of
cultural memory, but, like the memory of each
individual, it is also subject to continual adjustment
and modification as the memory is recalled
in new circumstances and contexts.
